The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 573 The Black Sun and the Bat Lamp
Batman still remembers that when he first debuted as a hero, someone asked him, if he also needs evidence, what is the difference between him and those cops who do nothing?

But now, the facts he personally investigated proved that what Schiller said to him was correct. In Gotham, the law is not even a joke.

In other words, no matter where the law is, there is nothing to do with people like Falcone. He has never killed anyone with his own hands, he has not even instigated a person, and he has not ordered the gunman to assassinate others.

All his enemies were killed by others, swallowed by wolves who wanted to follow him for the greater good, and Falcone, Gotham was the uncrowned king for decades, feared by everyone His Excellency, the godfather, is much more innocent than everyone else.

This makes all laws, trials, and convictions look like a joke. Those who killed for him were only motivated by profit, and helped Falcone remove all obstacles in his way. Batman knows that even if he puts Falcone was taken to court, and the judge couldn't try him.

Just like they couldn't try the murderers who killed the Waynes.

When Batman was thinking more deeply about the meaning of law, he received a call from Schiller asking him to go to the office. In an instant, this kind of esoteric sociological problem was left behind by him, because He knew that he might face a bigger trouble.

When Bruce came to Schiller's office and found that Lex was there, he knew that this bigger trouble might be multiplied by two.

If there is one thing in this world that requires him and Lex to work together, Bruce has already begun to wonder, is Schiller dissatisfied with the position of the sun?
Both Bruce and Lex sat opposite Schiller, and to their surprise, after Schiller spoke, he didn't mention the topic of moving the parking space for the sun or the moon. He just stretched his finger on the top of his head and said : "Did you find any difference there?"

Bruce and Lex looked up together, and then they found that the ceiling lampshade had been removed, and the light bulb was missing where it should have been.

"You should also know that there have been frequent power outages at Gotham University recently. Every time there is a power outage, it is easy to burn out the circuit and the light bulb is easy to be damaged. This is the case with the new light bulb we just replaced today."

Schiller stretched out his hand, waved it, and signaled the two of them to look at the surrounding environment. Now the whole classroom is dark, but the light bulb next door is not broken, and there is a glimmer of light from the window, so they can barely see people clearly.

"This is the environment where I work now. In order to improve this situation, I established a research group. You are the first batch of researchers in the research group. Now there are two topics to choose from."

"First, let Gotham immediately return to normal weather with more than 8 hours of sunshine throughout the day..."

"I'll choose the second one." Bruce replied without hesitation, but Lex turned his head to look at him and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to answer? Is it because you are not confident in your meteorology level?"

"Because I don't want to move the sun." Bruce replied blankly.

"Where do we need to move the sun? Wouldn't it be enough to just use chemicals to disperse the clouds? Don't tell me, you don't have launch equipment. Didn't the Wayne family make preparations early?"

Bruce pursed his lips, and he gave Lex a sympathetic look. Sure enough, he heard Schiller say, "Okay, since you have disagreements, let's each have a topic."

"I'll choose the second one." Bruce repeated again, lest Schiller change his mind and let him and Lex work on the first subject together.

Fortunately, Schiller said: "Then, Lex's topic is to completely change the weather in Gotham, making it sunny and sunny, so that even if the light bulb occasionally goes out, the office will have enough lighting."

"No problem." Lex agreed without hesitation, and he was even a little impatient. In his opinion, if he could complete the subject that Bruce was trying to avoid, it would prove that he was much better than Bruce.

Bruce gave him another sympathetic look, then looked at Schiller and asked, "What's the second subject?"

"Make a light bulb that stays on forever."

"The bat light will do." Bruce replied immediately.

Schiller was choked, and he asked, "You don't really use fusion to make bat lights, do you?"

Bruce lowered his head and began to study the pattern on the table. Schiller shook his head and said, "I don't want to share the same light bulb with the traffic light on the central turntable. That's very unlucky. Do you want my office to be destroyed three times a year?"

Schiller glanced at Lex, who was still here, and said to him: "Your topic selection has been completed, and you can go to work now. If I open the curtains tomorrow and see a sunny day, I will Give your final assignment an unprecedented excellent grade."

Lex paused for a moment, then quickly left the chair and walked out the door. Bruce looked at his leaving back with sympathetic eyes again.

After he left, Schiller took out a model from his drawer, which was the original Ark reactor model he had taken from Stark's laboratory before.

Schiller put it on the table and said, "Don't say I won't cook for you, just take it. I want a light bulb like this. It shouldn't be difficult for you."

Bruce took the model. At first, he didn't feel anything, until he saw a part of the internal structure through the gap. Bruce narrowed his eyes, showing the classic Batman expression, and then looked up at Schiller.

"This is not something you can make." Bruce is very straightforward, but Schiller is not angry. In this regard, he will not contradict anyone. He really knows nothing about physics and engineering, and he has no interest. .

"This is a friend of mine..."

"Where is he? What's his name? Male or female? Where does he study? Where does he work?"

"Stop, if you want to ask such detailed questions, I won't give you this kind of thing next time. I believe that Lex should also be interested in it."

Bruce showed a rare expression of hesitation. No scientific researcher can refuse this kind of inspiration from heaven, especially according to Schiller, this kind of opportunity is more than once.

Whether to resist his skepticism and get more technology and inspiration, or continue to follow his instincts, doubt everything, and then push away Schiller's, all gifts, Bruce had to admit, he started to struggle again.

A few times before, when Schiller pulled out certain technologies out of thin air, Bruce had already begun to suspect, but he really had no good way to investigate. He could only expect Schiller to tell him, but now Schiller has shown his attitude and wants the truth , there is no technology, want technology, there is no truth,
Bruce's grip on the model was getting tighter and tighter, and when his hesitation reached its peak, he heard Schiller's devilish whisper:

"I drove Lex away on purpose, not because I thought he didn't have the technology to make the light bulb I wanted, but because I thought I had known you longer and knew you better than him, The two of us are closer, so I chose to give this thing to you."

"I know, you never trust me, or you don't trust anyone. Given your childhood trauma, I can understand your attitude, but if I also choose not to trust you, then the one left today is Lake It's gone."

"You should know that Lex is different from you and Clark. He is more like me. We both ignore laws and rules, and are not afraid to use means to break through the bottom line to achieve our desired goals."

"So, you will meet one day. Logically speaking, if I stand on his side, it will be the best revenge for your distrust, but I don't want to do that."

"Why?" Bruce asked, looking Schiller in the eye.

"Because, there are not only one goal after another in this world, and I don't have to use the highest efficiency to complete them. The reason why people are called people is because they use rational judgments to judge gains and losses, but also pay attention to emotions. .”

"You mean, your feelings prompted you to make this decision?" Bruce's tone was a little stiff.

"If I use purely rational thinking to judge this matter, then it should be a better choice to give this thing to Lex. It can not only create an opponent for you, limit your development, but also find an equal position for yourself." ally, guard against your plans to deal with me one day."

"But I chose another way, which is to give this thing to you and explain why I chose to do so."

Bruce found that this office was still his nightmare, because every time he was here, he would face such a choice.

He would rather that Schiller didn't make all this so clear, but now, Bruce already knows that Schiller chose sensibility between rationality and sensibility. In Bruce's view, this is not the right choice, but he has benefited from it. people.

This made him face a thinking dilemma. His brain, which is used to thinking rationally, was telling him that what Schiller did was wrong, and his behavior and personality should not make him make such a move, so Bruce's brain began to Analyze Schiller's motivations for doing so.

And Schiller's words have clearly told Bruce that his motivation for doing this is emotion, and for a long time, the emotion part of Bruce's brain did not work, and was blocked by a thick The door is separated.

The existence of Alfred is the key to the door, and the relationship with Catwoman is to turn the key a little bit. Aisha and Dick bumped into the door, causing the door to open a gap.

If other people are opening the door through external force, what Schiller is doing is more like opening the door from the inside out.

Schiller looked at the back of Bruce leaving. The model was faintly visible in the dark office, but because it was only a structural model, not the real Ark reactor, it was not bright and could not provide any light source.

But Schiller knew that with Bruce's genius, it wouldn't take long to light up the Ark's reactor.

And this ark reactor with countless contradictory thoughts, not only illuminates a certain street, a certain room, but also something that has been hiding behind the door and peeking at the outside world.

If the bat insisted on lighting a lamp in this dark city, Schiller didn't mind, and replaced his bat lamp with a brighter bulb.
